[IRCA] UNID 890 SS

[ptdx@xxxxxxxxxxx]

FROM REDMOND, WA 
Strong SS noted over/under KDXU 9/22 8:30-9p PDT. Sounded like paid Spanish religion 8:30-8:45 and also 8:45-8:50p (this one with a Costa Mesa, CA mailing address) and then music til I tuned out at 9. At 8:57, signal dropped way down abruptly, and then whimpered back to about half of what it was. Couldn't pull out ID. My guess is the Meridian,ID station running 50kw at night. Not a peep out of CJDC.

My reception today was very similar to what Gary and Dennis reported. 
Several low end NHK stations had their best signals of the season, as 
did the North Korean on 657. I also had a tantalizing carrier (possibly 
from the KBS station) on 711 trying to break through the KIRO splash and 
almost succeeding. 

The upper part of the dial was less interesting, with most stations 
putting in half-hearted appearances at best. Even 1566 was below normal. 

GOOD - a native speaker would have understood most of it for at least a 
minute or so 
594 JOAK, man & woman conversing 1331 
747 JOIB, English lesson peaking 1323, woman talking about American 
Revolution //774 
774 JOUB, English lesson quite strong today 1300-1330 
972 HLCA, Korean man & woman 1342, not as strong as yesterday 
1566 HLAZ, peaking for a couple of minutes 1317 with Japanese 
woman. Otherwise mostly just fair-poor today 

FAIR - a native speaker would have recognized words and sentence fragments 
657 DPRK, angry Korean woman 1324 
828 JOBB English lesson 1321 
981 CNR1, man in Chinese 1340-43 
1287 JOHR, phone conversation 1331 

POOR - unintelligible 
567 JOIK talk //594 
693 JOAB, language lessons in CBU splatter 1316 
819 DPRK 1326, woman singing in KGNW splatter 
864 Talk, possibly Japanese, peaking 1324 
945 bits of audio trying to make it past KJR splatter 1307, probably CNR1 
1053 jammer 1324 
1206 Yanbian PBS, 1333 traces of talk on 1205.95 
1242 traces of music 1324 
1332 talk 1327, sounded Japanese 
1575 traces of talk 1340
